My closest Denny's was 45 minutes from the cow pasture. Small town. There wasn't much open after 10, except the 1 convenience store and the cow pasture.
White Castle that night after you're done drinking. Sausage, bacon, egg & cheese on a buttered roll for breakfast, along with 2 Tylenol is all we ever needed. Gen X from Brooklyn NYC
Gatorade and a big glass of water before you pass out. Get up, shower. Have another big glass of water, heat up whatever you are the night before, eat it with a coffee and go to work or back to bed depending on the day.
Yup, I agree! There was many different drinks down my pipe on a night out but since I'm over 40 now, no way, I just can't take it anymore! The best thing for a hangover is to just top up with a sneaky drink, depend how much you had the night before because you might just be pissed again, the "Hair of the dog" and a full greasy English Breakfast and you good to go...❤❤
I have never had a hangover. I used to eat a decent meal before I went to the bars. It blew my friend’s minds. I went to Banff when I was 18 and my cousin was head bartender at a bar and she tried really hard to get me drunk and failed miserably. I got all my drinks that night for free! And still didn’t get drunk. I walked with her to the next bar and we partied until closing.
I remember having Alcohol poisoning and I went to school and my after school job. I was hungover for 3 days. I was puking for 3 days everything I ate and drank. Later that 3rd day I realized I was suppose to get my senior pictures taken. I had lost too much weight my cute outfits were too big on me. My Mom felt bad since I had been so sick she gave me the money to buy a new outfit for the pictures. I bought the outfit I had originally wanted but I wasn’t skinny enough to look cute in it. Mind you I was a size 5/6. And after being so sick I was a 0. She gave me enough for the whole outfit. Capris and midriff top a wide belt and a cute pair of clean white Keds, and a cute high waisted pencil skirt. A pink blouse. And black flats. I knew I would go back up to my normal size in a few days. I kept all the receipts and returned the clothes as soon as the pictures were taken. Then I came home with the money for the clothes and gave mom back the change. Lol
Drinking until 2:30am in Detroit in the mid 80s. We had the DD drive up to Port Huron so we could get to Denny's by about 4:00am to order a Grand Slam breakfast (or two) with extra butter on the toast and extra bacon on side. Add 5 or 6 cups of coffee. We would then leave and cross back over into Canada (Sarnia, ON) where each of us would get home around 7:00 just in time to get ready to go to work for 8:30am at the mall. At the end of the work day the question was who'd puked? (everyone), who'd fallen asleep at work? (a few) and finally, who was coming out drinking after work to kill the hangover? (everyone again). Yeah, we had that whole hangover thing locked.
@@Inmatesixdoublefive321 Loved going to Port Huron back in the 80s. Blue Moom and Full Moon Records, Denny's and Taurus Comics on Military Drive. I graduated from St. Clair High School in Sarnia in 85.
Not trying to brag but I never got the classic hangover. I found out early in my drinking days that I started to feel lousy and have a headache not all that long after drinking more than a beer or two so I basically stopped drinking any alcohol and the few times I didn't heed my body's warnings I stayed awake until the booze was out of my system (human liver metabolizes roughly 1oz of alcohol per hour) so I never went to sleep drunk, hydrated fairly well and avoided any hangovers. By the time I hit 25 I never drank enough to get hungover at all and I wasn't an early age boozer either as I didn't find waking up under dressed in a field in November to be entertaining.
😂😂Rinse & Repeat for sure. Going to Mighty Taco @ 1am in between drinks cuz hunger kicked in and back at it until 4. Then of course all go to breakfast, home to shower, change clothes and get to class or work. Omg it was so much fun 😀 most of the time (when not praying to the porcelain). Who ever heard of taking off work or school for a hangover?😂😂 We were all bartenders, servers, some were friends with other jobs but us , we were "professional drinkers"😂
Wait, you can get rid of a hangover? What fun is there in that? I spent almost my entire freshman year in high school drunk, at school. It's amazing how much vodka looks like water, in the right container. Same goes for gin, rum and tequila too. To the a$*hole that introduced me to "Jager Bombs",
I always made sure to have 2-3 cold jugs of Pedialyte stashed somewhere for the morning after death phase; chug one, let it settle, then attempt a couple of sausage and egg biscuits. If I was able to stay outside of those, then it was game on; otherwise, chug another. With a vodka chaser.
Golden West Diner was where people went to eat. It’s like Denny’s restaurant. You could order French fries with cheese as a snack to ease out of the possible hangover over. It was also the cheapest snack to share with everyone. I never got hung over drunk. Kind of hard to do and expensive. So I was usually taking care of those that were trying to be drunk. A rule that I had was “Never get drunk enough that I have to scrap you off of the ceiling.” That was applied to those that were drunk enough that they thought the floor was the ceiling. It also had to be followed through once, at a camping trip. Fun moments
Funny thing is, I've never suffered a hangover. And believe me, I drank. Anything from Jim Beam to Jack Daniels and everything in between. Nothing better than drinking with an irresponsible Uncle and taking a massive bong rip.
Me and my crew used to hit a 24-hour restaurant on the way home from the bar and eat breakfast. Rarely had a hangover unless I chugged wine or Triple Sec.
Boiler Maker or Bloody Mary that had a lot of Sriracha sauce in it, a nice bowl of Menudo and a fried egg on top. A couple of bottles of Gatorade between classes and by Noon, I was ready to really start all over again...GenX from SoCal
The best way to avoid a hangover is to just stay drunk. Dont forget, that beer is the breakfast of champions. I was also quite lucky because I was never hangover prone. They were few and very far between which was somewhat surprising seeing as I was hittin the bars or clubs 5 nights a week for about 3 years.
The magic formula is protien + caffeine + electrolytes. IMO, the best way to get them is a fried or scrambled egg sandwich with sausage, bacon, or ham on an English muffin (covers the protein and electrolytes and throws in a bit of carbs and fat for energy) plus an iced coffee, the stronger the better (caffeinated, obviously, iced so you can suck it down as quickly as possible). Later in life I managed a cafe for a while, and one of the employees of the attached bookstore would constantly order a sausage and egg sandwich and a large cold brew and I jokingly called it the Hangover Special. 😆 After a while that's how she started ordering it.🤣
If you are hung over with and upset stomach, (I’m not sure if headaches hangovers apply for this one) try eating yogurt (not Greek yogurt, just regular yogurt) it has an active enzyme in it that settles your stomach. It’s not a cure, but it will make you go from not wanting to ever move again, to being able to function pretty well. I discovered this after an ill advised night of mixing several of the aforementioned concoctions together… This has been a public service announcement….
I was born in the 60s grew up in the 70s and graduated HS in 1985. Do any of you growing up in that time frame ever make Hunch Punch in a large cooler/ice chest using that Ever Clear???? HAHAHA We would dump a couple of bottles of Ever Clear into the ice chest then dump Hawaiian Punch, orange juice, and any other juice we could find in it and then cut up fruit like strawberries and pineapple into it. Mix it all up and then be shocked and laughing about the fact we were still alive the next day. LOL After a few days to recover we would go back to said cooler and eat the fruit that had soaked up the alcohol from the the first night and get drunk all over again! 🤔🤣🤢Please tell me I am not the only one hahahaha!
When you got home 3 asprin 2 advice and water and hope you could sleep at least 2 hours before getting up, the a can Pepsi and more water and a slice of pizza still sitting on the counter or popcorn with Tabasco My roommate would drunk a.glass of milk in the morning...I always had to look away...my stomach curdled at just thought of it!
Start with a big greasy meal 2 hours before going out. It gives all those Long island Iced Teas something to land on. Then a large glass of club soda before bed, or passing out. No hangover the next day. You will be thirsty so keep drinking water.
GenX were raised on rebellious paty movies like Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller,Teen Wolf and Revenge of the Nerds.. we only went to school to find out where the next party was.
I luckily got my paternal grandfather’s Slovakian constitution. I don’t get hung over and I don’t get sick. I have never understood how people who get sick and hungover person drinking.
Gen Xer here: My freshman year in college, we had coed bathrooms. So we all took turns puking. In different stalls of course. Btw, you didn’t mention tequila. Or gin & tonics with lime & bed spins.
Gotta get those greasy McDonald’s 🍟, when they were actually fried. In beef fat. We also drank water, ate some honey and a PCs of bread to eliminate the hangover before it happened
If you could you would put a little more alcohol in your system to help you get threw it so long as that was not going to make you drunk again. It also helps if you ate and drank a lot of water late at night / early in the morning before you went to bed. If you have aspirin or anything else like that like tylenol, use it.
McDonald's french fries are the perfect hangover food. The grease smothers whatever alcohol is left and the taste and texture are completely non-offensive. Gotta be hot though.
Bacon & egg sandwich with extra bacon and cheese... just like the egg sandwich Harley was obsessed with in the birds of prey movie. Eventually I gave up drinking because I didn't like the way I felt the next day and I can't stand the taste of vomit
I don’t get hangovers it’s a family trait however I know some friends swear by 2 Advil (don’t think it’s a good idea to mix’s meds with alcohol) and Gatorade before sleep and a heavy dose of vitamin B and another Gatorade in the morning Alcohol dehydrates and depletes vitamin
What's a hangover doesn't matter how much I drink I never have had 1. I swear it is part of my DNA. I was out drinking walk me downs aka adios mfs at a casino and they were free so I was throwing them back like shots. They are pretty.
Hey John, your 1972 gen-x guy here. You usually speak for me in these videos, but I NEVER drank or did drugs. I just - didn’t. Not all of us did that. Just sayin’
In all fairness our generation didn't invent this. If anything the invention should be credited to the soldiers who returned from WW1. I base this opinion on how my grandfather, a veteran of Korea who fought at the Chosin Reservoir, regularly had a hangover and still managed to drive a log truck every day. Thankfully the shame of seeking out therapy is mostly a thing of the past.
B-12 if you take it the night of, water, drink water between drinks, same amount as the drink you’re drinking, and it won’t kick your ass nearly as bad. I was taught how to shoot a fifth of whiskey and still be standing pert near sober, and ya, some water between unadulterated shots helps a lot. Wash those drinks down, keep your electrolytes up, slug down a packet of drip drop (we did NOT have these things, but you have them now, our best was Emergen-C, and in the 80’s finally some pre-drinking thing I totally forgot the name if that stuff). Many a night face planted, the code was you cleaned up after your drunken homies no matter what mess they made, code of honor. We all had our turns on both sides of that equation, and somewhere off the roadside between Evanston, WY and Utah may very well still be my favorite Sassoon shirt that my friends removed and tossed out the window. Nothing like waking up on a sofa in a home you’ve never been in, facing the TV, ya, feet pointed at it, unable to avert the eyes, (reasons to desperately need that forthcoming), no shirt, freezing, (nobody thought of a blanket?! I’ve got no shirt here! Thanks for keeping my bra on…I guess…this just HAD to happen with that cute guy I really like along for the ride, he’ll never see me in the same light again…actually…that’s a whole other story, remember the shooting whiskey thing?), head spinning, everyone has left the room, AND somebody left MTV blasting away in a dizzyingly darkened room. Ya, back when they played music videos, videos that would ruthlessly torment a drunk with a vicious case of the head spins. That’s when you’d give anything to have something to cover the eyes. A blanket would have been nice. A pillow. Something. Nope. Just freezing my ass off whilst Electric Avenue, and Money For Nothing, as well as others, bombarded my fragile, booze-addled mind. Where am I? Where IS everyone? Where’s my shirt? Common questions of the day for Gen Xers…questions you didn’t always want the answers to. Mickey Big Mouths and Sloe Gin are NOT friends, just FYI. Just….don’t. Pick your poison and stick with it, and do NOT mix light and dark booze, nor beer or wine with liquor, and you’ll have a fighting chance…and remember that hydrating with the glass of water thing, your body will thank you for some B-12 and electrolytes, and ffs, it’s GREASY food, and salt, like hash browns, a greasy breakfast, not buckets of carbs….and definitely one must have the hair of the dog. God help you if there’s not a drop left. This is reminding me of another story, it wasn’t me with the puke in the hair at some mountain diner where we stopped for our greasy hangover breakfast, but we did have to cut the sleeping bag cord from around that homie’s neck that she somehow managed to get all tangled up in, down one sleeve, up another, and around her neck before she puked on herself and another buddy’s head. Ya, I got lucky. I slept between them and the one dude along for the camp out, and everyone knew not to mess with me, so lucky me, being the buffer girl saved me from that unpleasant surprise. Her hair was all wadded up on one side with puke like mousse, and they kindly didn’t bat an eye, but served us our greasy fare, one more breakfast in a lifetime of greasy hangover breakfasts in some imperfectly-perfect little diner that was always accommodating of the endless trail of hungover patrons that came their way, maybe because they’d order more than they’d be able to eat, maybe knowing they’d usually get a really good tip, but always kindly speaking in soft tones and saying “sure”, to any request. Take care of a hungover drunk, and the code of honor is to reciprocate, so tip your server well. They’re tolerating your stinky, (because you’re probably not yet able to stand up in the shower, but you really need food, and couldn’t dream of making it yourself), still partly drunk, possibly belligerent, but definitely delirious, even if semi-happy self. The most sober of you drove there, and they’ve a whole table of..you all. Or y’all, as it were. These stories go on forever. They just get more interesting with strangers, certain unnamed and untitled criminal elements, cops, alphabet agencies, and other…additions…those stories we will take to our graves. So we tell the boring ones.
Dude....just naming all those drinks brought back sooooo many memories.
Never had a hangover. GenX. Going to Denny's at 3 in the morning after being out all night helped.
My closest Denny's was 45 minutes from the cow pasture.
Small town. There wasn't much open after 10, except the 1 convenience store and the cow pasture.
Best advice I got, from my doctor, a walk, an aspirin and fluids.
Carbs? Hes not really hung over if he can keep food down.
Lol
Grease is the word. True story. 😂
Yeah, we had it down or up, depending on the night!🥴🥴🤮😂😂😂😂 Rumple Mintz
The jokes went wild at the end, glad you said something first lol
Gen X might not be the greatest generation but we are definitely the strongest , and most independent generation.
Yukon Jack kicked my ass all through the late 80's, still went to work then partied with the same hangover!
White Castle that night after you're done drinking. Sausage, bacon, egg & cheese on a buttered roll for breakfast, along with 2 Tylenol is all we ever needed.

In Georgia they were called Krystal's, we didn't have White Castles, but they worked the same! Lol
Gatorade and a big glass of water before you pass out. Get up, shower. Have another big glass of water, heat up whatever you are the night before, eat it with a coffee and go to work or back to bed depending on the day.
My head hurts just hearing some of the names of the drinks🎉
I was the sophisticated member of my friends because I always had a rum and coke on ice. I never drank everclear but used it to start my buddies truck
Two eggs fried in bacon grease with buttered toast and chocolate Nestle's Quik.
No hang overs for me, I was still drunk over😂😂😂😂
LOL! I never had a hangover until after I passed 40. Didn’t matter how drunk I got😂😂
Me. I can't ever look a mojito in the eye again.

Closing bars and heading to the nearest all nighter breakfast place. Gen X is the reason closing time was written.

Coffee and a smoke was my go to, then cracked one open at 10am at work hangover gone. 😁😁
I am 54. Still know how to make a hangover go away. And Chipotle (cuz that's what he's got) AIN'T how to do it. 😂
Jono, between being GenX and Greek, I sure as hell expected you to know to handle hangovers. I wasn't disappointed.
Not trying to brag but I never got the classic hangover. I found out early in my drinking days that I started to feel lousy and have a headache not all that long after drinking more than a beer or two so I basically stopped drinking any alcohol and the few times I didn't heed my body's warnings I stayed awake until the booze was out of my system (human liver metabolizes roughly 1oz of alcohol per hour) so I never went to sleep drunk, hydrated fairly well and avoided any hangovers.

Since middle school, I kept a bottle of Tylenol in my locker. Got me through school till it was the hair of the dog. How are we, not all alcoholics?
The rt and lft side pain in my lower back when I drank, kinda made the choice for me. But that wasn't until I was 49.😎🥸🤓 70's rule
Alkaseltzer before bed and Menudo when you get up
Kid doesn't look hungover. I bet he's skipping school or work too. Lightweight.
Preach it, brother!
Kamikazes, snakebites...whoah. Avalanche - most disgusting shot ever.
Simplest way to avoid the hangover...don't sober up.
I always made sure to have 2-3 cold jugs of Pedialyte stashed somewhere for the morning after death phase; chug one, let it settle, then attempt a couple of sausage and egg biscuits. If I was able to stay outside of those, then it was game on; otherwise, chug another. With a vodka chaser.
Pedialyte hmmm... interesting. In our neck of the woods it was greasy food, gatorade and a little hair of the dog.

Absolutely
OMG Snakebites were sooooooo good!!! After 2003 I could no longer drink them...lol...
no brain, no headache...
I plead the fifth of Vodka

I didn't drink very much, but I stopped drinking in Jr. High School.
I don’t wanna talk about it.
A McDonald's breakfast was always a must after a good night of drinking.😂

The reason we spent so much time in the bathroom is cause the alter to the Porcelain God was in there. 😂

Best thing for a hangover is coconut water or a banana bag if you can get one.
Gotta get those greasy McDonald’s 🍟, when they were actually fried. In beef fat.
We also drank water, ate some honey and a PCs of bread to eliminate the hangover before it happened
I'm always shocked when someone calls out "sick" at work for a hangover. This wasn't done by Gen X. That's a sign of weakness...lol.
Who had frozen opal nera black sambuca?

Never got a hangover from tequila shots. However, the time I thought it was a good idea to drink a six pack of beer with a straw......😂😢🤢🤮
Stop at Krystal's or Huddle/Waffle House for vittles then full glass of water and two Advil 😂😂😂😂
Agreed!
Jager and golden, wake up and people tell you what you did but you don't remember anything. Good and awful days in one package.
The greatest night I don’t remember was thanks to Seagram’s wine coolers and acid. What hangover?
If I did that now it would probably kill me.
McDonald's french fries are the perfect hangover food. The grease smothers whatever alcohol is left and the taste and texture are completely non-offensive. Gotta be hot though.
You forgot a tequila shot with lime and salt!
Put salt on back of hand, lick salt off, shoot tequila and bite into lime wedge!
Repeat.
You forgot Jungle Juice lol
Bacon & egg sandwich with extra bacon and cheese... just like the egg sandwich Harley was obsessed with in the birds of prey movie. Eventually I gave up drinking because I didn't like the way I felt the next day and I can't stand the taste of vomit

No matter what or how much I have drank, I have never gotten a hangover. To me, those things are mythical punishments and just do not exist.

Hair of the Dog is orange juice and the alcohol the dog bit you
In all fairness our generation didn't invent this. If anything the invention should be credited to the soldiers who returned from WW1. I base this opinion on how my grandfather, a veteran of Korea who fought at the Chosin Reservoir, regularly had a hangover and still managed to drive a log truck every day. Thankfully the shame of seeking out therapy is mostly a thing of the past.
Why does Gen X believe they were the first to ever to do somethings and also the last?
I’m afraid I have the answer…a bag of IV fluids and a B12 shot….retired medic. Now I just smoke weed….easier mornings
Two words: Waffle House
B-12 if you take it the night of, water, drink water between drinks, same amount as the drink you’re drinking, and it won’t kick your ass nearly as bad. I was taught how to shoot a fifth of whiskey and still be standing pert near sober, and ya, some water between unadulterated shots helps a lot. Wash those drinks down, keep your electrolytes up, slug down a packet of drip drop (we did NOT have these things, but you have them now, our best was Emergen-C, and in the 80’s finally some pre-drinking thing I totally forgot the name if that stuff).
Many a night face planted, the code was you cleaned up after your drunken homies no matter what mess they made, code of honor. We all had our turns on both sides of that equation, and somewhere off the roadside between Evanston, WY and Utah may very well still be my favorite Sassoon shirt that my friends removed and tossed out the window.
Nothing like waking up on a sofa in a home you’ve never been in, facing the TV, ya, feet pointed at it, unable to avert the eyes, (reasons to desperately need that forthcoming), no shirt, freezing, (nobody thought of a blanket?! I’ve got no shirt here! Thanks for keeping my bra on…I guess…this just HAD to happen with that cute guy I really like along for the ride, he’ll never see me in the same light again…actually…that’s a whole other story, remember the shooting whiskey thing?), head spinning, everyone has left the room, AND somebody left MTV blasting away in a dizzyingly darkened room. Ya, back when they played music videos, videos that would ruthlessly torment a drunk with a vicious case of the head spins. That’s when you’d give anything to have something to cover the eyes. A blanket would have been nice. A pillow. Something. Nope. Just freezing my ass off whilst Electric Avenue, and Money For Nothing, as well as others, bombarded my fragile, booze-addled mind.
Where am I? Where IS everyone? Where’s my shirt? Common questions of the day for Gen Xers…questions you didn’t always want the answers to.
Mickey Big Mouths and Sloe Gin are NOT friends, just FYI. Just….don’t.
Pick your poison and stick with it, and do NOT mix light and dark booze, nor beer or wine with liquor, and you’ll have a fighting chance…and remember that hydrating with the glass of water thing, your body will thank you for some B-12 and electrolytes, and ffs, it’s GREASY food, and salt, like hash browns, a greasy breakfast, not buckets of carbs….and definitely one must have the hair of the dog. God help you if there’s not a drop left.
This is reminding me of another story, it wasn’t me with the puke in the hair at some mountain diner where we stopped for our greasy hangover breakfast, but we did have to cut the sleeping bag cord from around that homie’s neck that she somehow managed to get all tangled up in, down one sleeve, up another, and around her neck before she puked on herself and another buddy’s head. Ya, I got lucky. I slept between them and the one dude along for the camp out, and everyone knew not to mess with me, so lucky me, being the buffer girl saved me from that unpleasant surprise.
Her hair was all wadded up on one side with puke like mousse, and they kindly didn’t bat an eye, but served us our greasy fare, one more breakfast in a lifetime of greasy hangover breakfasts in some imperfectly-perfect little diner that was always accommodating of the endless trail of hungover patrons that came their way, maybe because they’d order more than they’d be able to eat, maybe knowing they’d usually get a really good tip, but always kindly speaking in soft tones and saying “sure”, to any request.
Take care of a hungover drunk, and the code of honor is to reciprocate, so tip your server well. They’re tolerating your stinky, (because you’re probably not yet able to stand up in the shower, but you really need food, and couldn’t dream of making it yourself), still partly drunk, possibly belligerent, but definitely delirious, even if semi-happy self. The most sober of you drove there, and they’ve a whole table of..you all. Or y’all, as it were.
These stories go on forever. They just get more interesting with strangers, certain unnamed and untitled criminal elements, cops, alphabet agencies, and other…additions…those stories we will take to our graves.
So we tell the boring ones.
